Maiden Ale is the first commercial release from the newest local microbrewery in S.A.

The brew incorporates specialty malts sourced from around the world, such as Maris Otter barley from the UK, and various coloured malts from Germany and Australia. A trip to the hop fields of Nelson, New zealand, has inspired us in our selection of seasonal hop flowers.

Brewboys use a State-of-the-art brewhouse to bring out the best beers like this. The 'hop back' is an integral stage, allowing us to capture the maximum whole hop aroma.

This beer is a stylish Amber Ale, a well rounded full body with intensely inviting citrus and floral hop aromas, robust caramel malt back palate, well balanced aith lingering bitterness. Blah blah blah...Just drink it.

For their first go it is a suprisingly great beer. Will drink more when it becomes available here in Newcastle.

I can't say enough about this beer. My local has it on tap, and it is brewed locally to Adelaide, so I had to try it. Being a homebrew nut and quite partial to hoppy beers, this beer has it all. Lovely fruity flavour (perhaps from Amarillo Hop?) and a smooth after taste that stays with you for a few minutes. If it weren't for its horrendous price ($10 for a pint), I would drink this stuff all day long. Well done to the brewers, it's a lovely beer.
